Well in attempting to create the video with the menu screen integrated I discovered a wonderful little file called sqlogo.avi in my movies folder. Â Eidoslogo can remain unchanged (or be turned into a .1 sec black screen) it's the sqlogo that the video needs to be renamed as.

Grimmy307, Â I saw a post earlier about the opening credits on the tan final fantasy background with the names scrolling in. Â It's apparently not a video, but textures. Â Once I'm happy with the video (or if you decide to do one) the newgame screen transition will have to be drawn out to allow the player ample time to press enter so everything can be seamless. Â Clover27 also sent a note out apologizing for not responding to her PMs and will respond to all of them by tomorrow. Â So hopefully a truly High Def intro is on the way. Â I'll delete the link if you decide to host this on your filefront site.

I downloaded the movies and disabled xvid codec in ffdshow. I have also installed the costum graphic drivers but when i start a new game, the game jumps to the end of fmv with a black screen, it seems it skip the video. Any solutions?

Just ran it and it's fine. Obesebear good Idea replacing the eidos with black and sq with the vid. It resolved an issue of fps in the first second of the eidos. If you don't get the hq vid from clover, I have the hq from youtube, I can easily crop it at the white flash. Best free video editing software on the net is virtualdub. We'll get a link up on the main post later today or tomorrow with 320x224 and 960x720.

The opening credits on the tan final fantasy background with the names scrolling is in the cr_us.lgp it's 6 different textures. I'm going to play around with changing it. done.

I will put up these two replacement files and the new start menu tomorrow as well as the above video, larger and trimmed down.

Edit: Wow that is going to be difficult, Each bmp has 2 names and titles that are all cut apart and enter the screen from different places, and the bmps are gray scale. I'm sure I can do it but the pics will be small and black and white.

Well I am definitely a fan of that Cloud and Tifa background! I don't really know where the dollar bill fits in but it's still really good. I think during the beginning of the story 80% of first time players favor Aerith of Tifa... so maybe her picture instead?Of course the Cloud and Sephiroth is great too.

If the names can only be done in grayscale and small, perhaps they can just be little scenes of different parts of the game / compilation. I'm completely unsure how that would look though.

I don't see the point in making the vids any larger than 640x480, the intro only rips at 480x360 and any sources found directly from DVD won't be any better quality than ?x480. Making them larger seems like it would only be making the file size larger with no improvement in quality?

Obesebear you right standard dvd size is 720x480. Blu-ray is something like1940x1080. Anyway the vid is good as stands, I would like to edit it so that it goes from the white flash after the buster sword straight to the soldier belt and then fades out, before the fan made part. still playing with adding those pics.

edit :

first try

Second try

Okay got it now, but to get the pictures on screen and uncut they have to be in the spot of the last name. Some names are bigger and some are smaller, so their is no set size just whatever size the longest name was starting in the bottom right of the last name.. Talk about a limitation. oh, well I'll post some shots later.

Did you set everything up by taking copying the files from the CD to a folder? did you put the proper file path in the registry? remember there is an extra \ at the end, without that you'll get black screens.

Finally are you using Aali's driver? If you aren't and you're using the high quality videos you'll probably get the same result

Aali, I included the codec info or those not using your driver. However everyone should be using your driver by now.

Covarr, the easy solution is to use Super, Any Video converter, or Prism to convert Otokoshi's vids to another codec, then they do work. I also included a seph in flames in the HQ vids, and will be releasing 1280x720 versions of everything from blu_ray after the NA release of ACC. Those scenes are better by far.

By the way, grimmy307, do you plan on improving jenova_e.avi video? It really needs it. Thought the video itself it's high definition, the quality is bad. The video is like blurred, and stretched. It's the only video I didn't replace. I didn't like canon3f.avi (which should actually be named canonh3f.avi instead) that much, since its black and white scene made it lost the thrill of the moment. If it only was colored...

Kaos good catch on the canonh3f.avi name I'll make a note on the main thread. I don't know If jenova_e will be redone, Kinda a pain to get that vid in hd. But I might. I personally enjoy the black and white in canonh3f for me it adds to the drama of the situation, but to each their own.

WOW Thanks Hellbringer, I will replace that link with an all HQ pack. I can't beleive it's been like that for so long I'll put up the meteofix and jenova_e for everyone who already downloaded the HQ pack

Thanks , Also. might be a big step, But what i did was made a replacement movie .exe with 7zip with all the HQ movies inside. Might be worth it to do the same with yours, Unless FileFront has a size limit, then nevermind haha
